Chubby Freeze — Restaurant in Oakland

If you are ever in Oakland, CA. I can't recommend Chubby Freeze enough.

Growing up in the 80's, I remember all these one off burger joints or local chains that made incredibly good burgers, sandwiches, and other food. There were no giant lighted logos, there were no commercials on TV, there were no gimmicks. They were not part of the burger wars. They just made good quality food, on the cheap, that kept local customers coming back.

Sadly, over the years most of these places have fallen victim to the vast over-commercialization of the fast food industry.

Chubby Freeze survives!

I had a steak sandwich and pastrami burger, and all I could think while eating them is I hadn't experienced that taste in forever. It was almost like I'd forgotten. It tasted like my youth. It was glorious.

Staff were super friendly and accommodating. Due to a technical glitch , their online ordering system wasn't sending them info on orders. All I had to do was show the order and receipt on my phone, and my food was...

Great place great food a little on the pricey side $69 for 3 regular meals, food was good took 45 minutes we were the only ppl there than 1 police officer was behind us in line, only problem was the cash register female could barely talk English and it took a good 15 minutes to order or food because she couldn't understand a cheeseburger with no mustard or a chocolate banana milk shake it was so hard to explain our order to her or understand her German accent but other than that food was good but very pricey also you will be harassed by the homeless ppl if you eat outside at the tables they constantly harassed us until we packed our food up and ate at the motel. It's on a main street lots of homeless ppl...

Maybe I made a mistake by not getting a burger like past reviewers but I wanted to be different so instead I got a Fish Burger. It was basically like 3 fish sticks fried with tartar sauce and shredded lettuce. No flavor at all! For almost $7 for the sandwich alone i would rather have gotten 2 or 3 Filet-O-Fish sandwiches from McDonald's seriously! I will come back because I want to try a burger next time as well as a shake. Place was rather small but clean and the young lady that took my order was very polite! Hopefully a burger can encourage me to give them more stars next time! They accept debit, they have outdoor seating and even a order window outside if dont want to...
